import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;  
import java.util.Date;  
public class StringToDateExample1 {  
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {  
    String sDate1="31/12/1998";  
    Date date1=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(sDate1);  
    System.out.println(sDate1+"\t"+date1);  
}  
}

 

Output:

31/12/1998	Thu Dec 31 00:00:00 IST 1998

Let's see another code to convert different types of Strings to Date in java. Here, we have used different date formats using SimpleDateFormat class.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;  
import java.util.Date;  
public class StringToDateExample2 {  
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {  
    String sDate1="31/12/1998";  
    String sDate2 = "31-Dec-1998";  
    String sDate3 = "12 31, 1998";  
    String sDate4 = "Thu, Dec 31 1998";  
    String sDate5 = "Thu, Dec 31 1998 23:37:50";  
    String sDate6 = "31-Dec-1998 23:37:50";  
    SimpleDateFormat formatter1=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");  
    SimpleDateFormat formatter2=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");  
    SimpleDateFormat formatter3=new SimpleDateFormat("MM dd, yyyy");  
    SimpleDateFormat formatter4=new SimpleDateFormat("E, MMM dd yyyy");  
    SimpleDateFormat formatter5=new SimpleDateFormat("E, MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss");  
    SimpleDateFormat formatter6=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");  
    Date date1=formatter1.parse(sDate1);  
    Date date2=formatter2.parse(sDate2);  
    Date date3=formatter3.parse(sDate3);  
    Date date4=formatter4.parse(sDate4);  
    Date date5=formatter5.parse(sDate5);  
    Date date6=formatter6.parse(sDate6);  
    System.out.println(sDate1+"\t"+date1);  
    System.out.println(sDate2+"\t"+date2);  
    System.out.println(sDate3+"\t"+date3);  
    System.out.println(sDate4+"\t"+date4);  
    System.out.println(sDate5+"\t"+date5);  
    System.out.println(sDate6+"\t"+date6);  
}  
}

 

Output:

31/12/1998	Thu Dec 31 00:00:00 IST 1998
31-Dec-1998	Thu Dec 31 00:00:00 IST 1998
12 31, 1998	Thu Dec 31 00:00:00 IST 1998
Thu, Dec 31 1998	Thu Dec 31 00:00:00 IST 1998
Thu, Dec 31 1998 23:37:50	Thu Dec 31 23:37:50 IST 1998
31-Dec-1998 23:37:50	Thu Dec 31 23:37:50 IST 1998
